Many machine vision applications require images of very small objects to be
captured at distances of only a few centimetres. Standard lenses are not
always suitable for this type of application. By contrast, Schneider
Kreuznach's precision lenses are perfectly suited to these situations because
they are corrected for close-up work and benefit from low levels of image
distortion.

For technical reasons, Schneider Kreuznach's Componon and Apo-Componon
precision lenses are not built with a focussing mechanism, so when these
lenses are used for image capture they require a focussing mechanism. To
address this, Schneider Kreuznach developed the Unifoc 58 and Unifoc 76
focussing system which allows lens adjustment to suit any application.
